Deal Negotiations

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante

The four remaining players started negotiations right after Rainer Kempe's bust out. Denys Shafikov needed a translator to understand what was going on, but soon found one to assist. Juanda, with the face mask on again, straight away noted he probably wasn't interested as he was the shortest stack and probably wouldn't be satisfied with an ICM calculated deal.

The organization eventually came up with the numbers but a deal could not be reached and play continued four handed.

Hand #92: Shafikov with {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} made it 400,000 under the gun. Steve Warburton picked up {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} on the button and called. Both blinds folded and it was heads up to the flop. {2-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts} on the board and Shafikov bet 450,000. Warburton called in position.

The {8-Spades} hit the turn and Shafikov checked. Warburton checked behind. Another two checks on the {6-Diamonds} river and the 2,125,000 pot went to Warburton. This shifted the chip lead to Warburton for the first time this final table. 15,175,000 for Warburton, 14,275,000 for Shafikov.

Hand #93: Kempe found {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and made it 400,000 under the gun. Shafikov in the big blind woke up with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and three bet to 900,000. Kempe moved in for 3,4750,000 after a minute of tanking. Shafikov thought for about five minutes and eventually called.

The {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts} on the flop was a blow to Kempe and Shafikov already got up from the table. Kempe stayed in his seat, but got up after the {2-Diamonds} hit the turn. The {5-Diamonds} on the river was there just to make things official.

Shafikov regained the chip lead and the tournament was down to four players, all guaranteed €405,100.
